The Modern Style Polishing (Hadori Style Polishing 刃取)
 
        It is designed to highlight the aesthetics of the blade. In this style polishing, the hamon appears white against the black, shining steel and the mirror finished shinogi-ji. It is so aesthetic that it makes a blade perfect for display.
      The white pattern that looks like hamon is called "HADORI". It is not a true hamon, but it is designed by polisher along the hamon to exaggerate it. When you look at the blade under a proper light, you can see the true hamon under the hadori.
       With the modern polishing style, you can see the blades with aesthetically "made-up face".  This polishing style was developed by a famous polisher in the early 20th century. This step requires a swordsmith to hand polish it for 1 month 
 
Ancient quenching:
 
      Modern vacuum heat treatment can meet the hardness requirements of most swords, but the traditional quenching method has better effect, can soften the medium strip steel, and the hardness is higher.
 
 
 
Clay Temper:

      To maximize both the cutting edge and the resilience of the sword spine, a technique of differential heat-treatment is used. The sword is painted with layers of clay before heating, providing a thin layer or none at all on the edge of the sword, ensuring quick cooling to maximize the hardening for the edge. A thicker layer of clay is applied to the rest of the blade, causing slower cooling. This creates softer, more resilient steel, allowing the blade to absorb shock without breaking.

 
 
 
 
It's free for engraving English words, Chinese Characters and Japanese Kanji , etc.

 

You need pay extral $20-30 for engraving patterns.

 
Sharpness
Most of our blades are sharp. We can also make the blade unsharpened for free if you require.
 
 Matching Swords Set
If you buy one katana, we can make a matching Wakizashi or Tanto for you. The price varies from different swords. Please contact us if you need make custom matching set.
 
 
 We have our own sword-casting factory. The factory is located in Longquan, a small town with a long history of sword-casting in China. Most of the famous Swords in China are made there. Rich raw materials, skilled technology, traditional sword casting technology from generation to generation.

Quenching

            After the blade has been shaped, the sword would be quenched. We quench our swords in either water or oil. Water quenching produces a tougher edge which can also be hardened further more using clay. Blades quenched in oil are still considerably hardened and do have superior flexibility compared to a water quenched blade.

 
 
Folded Steel :

           In the forging process , the most useful process is the folding, where the metals are forge welded, folded, and welded again, as many as 124 times(15 times is the best). The folding removes impurities and helps even out the carbon content, while the alternating layers combine hardness with ductility to greatly enhance the toughness. The less impurities, the harder and sharper the blade will be. We have done cutting tests on the blades. it can cut bamboo(young bamboo tree), grass mattings and slice paper(The blade should be tilted at 45 degrees).

About 1095 carbon steel :

         The best quality of high carbon steel is at 1095, the carbon content was 1.03%, and the element contains a small amount of chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, after heat treatment can reach HRc58-60 hardness, toughness is very good, but not resistant to rust, more be applied to traditional european-style hunting knife, large cutting knife and military dao. Such as the United States during world war ii "KA - BAR" saber is in 1095 as the blade material.
 
Kobuse :

       The vast majority of modern katana and wakizashi are the maru type which is the most basic, with the entire sword being composed of a single steel. The kobuse type is made using two steels, which are called hagane (edge steel) and shingane (core steel). Steel of different materials is forged and welded together to hammer the basic shape of the sword. This allows the overall blade to have a higher toughness and absorb a lot of impact. Reducing the possibility of breaking or bending to some extent. Makes the blade not only has high hardness, but also has super toughness
